Academy for Leadership Abilities

POSITIVE LEADERSHIP IS POSITIVE INFLUENCE. NO MORE AND NO LESS.

The Academy for Leadership Abilities® (ALA) is a premier educational program focusing on leadership skills, and personal growth strategies. These are products of choice for anyone in leadership or aspiring to be in leadership. Key principles such as ethical leadership, teamwork and positive mental attitude are applied. Participants enjoy the many benefits that come from learning HOW to think not WHAT to think.

Through this programming, a leadership seed is being planted to promote integration of ALL people of different backgrounds, including those with developmental disabilities into the community.

ALA is a lifestyle. It is living a life of integrity and challenging ourselves and each other to do the right things for the right reasons, with the right people, every single time to the best of our abilities, even when no one is looking. These principles become the center point for living a good and honest life.

The ALA systems are offered to anyone interested in learning how to become a leader. Classes can be taught in various venues such as: Schools and Post-Secondary Schools, Civic Organizations, Non-Profits, Camps, Churches, Advocacy Groups, Rehabilitation and Criminal Justice Systems.
